[akila]

so ulgy from the back

[Vitzrulez]

They have jus ruined the shape of such a nice huge suv into compact one.

[PavementPounder]

so how did the 600Nm of torque from the twinturbo diesel feel like??

[zianadeem1]

hmm was it a diesel engine?

[mani1]

cmon guys no need pulling legs on 'grand cruiser'

this is just a commonly used name e.g.

95-99 land cruiser is popularly known as 'cruising'
99-02 land cruiser is popularly known as 'grand cruiser'

and yeh no need to act all sophisticated and stuff
most of the owners themselves refer to their LCs this way

[MIKz]

i agree with @mani1
just like folks here call the old rolla shape "Indus", and the current civic shape "reborn". Thats all to it!

[minex]

@pavementpunder

it isnt 600NM,,its actually 650 NM...you can well imagine...it can dig out the road...lol

@zianadeem1

its a Diesel one..D4D is toyota's Diesel technology

@humangenius

it has a 4.5 Liter v8 under the hood

@hash4u

4.5 million plus duty
well it surely can burn rubber in 3rd gear.....just heard a big screathing sound when i gentley floored in 2nd gear...

@SIG

4 and a half thousands of ccs

@deel_ee

i got to know from sumwhere that toyota is not fitting things like EGR and Catalytic convertors in the vehicles being sent here....i ll let an expert answer this q

[Inspire]

minex: correction 4.4cc twim turbo Diesel D4D engine!

[exanaxe]

Theres a fully-loaded black one in F10/F11 that supposedly cost 98 lacs, owned by Muhammadi Gas Co.

But is this engine also going to much up like the Vigo's D4D?

[Qsialvi]

i really ment no offence, but really it sounds funny whn u say grand cruiser, if u live out side pakistan and visit
sm place never ever say grand cruiser thy make fun of u

[Suzuki1]

nice piece of machine:P

[La010]

(N)

^ugly^

I just hate this car don't know what are they upto..they givin every car a camry shape and moreover this car looks like a Public bus at its rear.

@Topic creator
Bro no offence but one got his own choice

[Qsialvi]

agree with La010 previous shape was best , from every angel it doesnt match with previous
also gotten heavier by about 265 pounds. isk saath saath yeh same wheelbase to hay but is 2.4 inches longer and about an inch wider and taller, jissy mujhay koi problem nahi
and underneath is again a traditional body-on-frame design
this car looks uglier from side view from back and its ok from front, nechy di gaee pic even 2006 bhi nahi hay lekin yeh 2008 se zeada attractive hay

[mazher]

@minex
u mentioned the torque of 650NM. can u pl also confirm how much HP it produces. Also is it a single turbo or twin turbo charged engine?

As for the exterior design it still looks quiet conventional and surely not inline with the latest trend.

In fact I dont find the overall exterior design much different from the previous one. I was expecting a more modern and futuristic look for this new comer which costs a fortune.

I think in terms of design and performance, Lexus RX-330 surely takes the lead. Very Recently drove a recently imported 2005 model with 3.0 engine and really enjoyed the ride, the performance and overall drive. It was as good as a modern luxury car.

@Inspire

very interesting...4.4 cc ..... i wud rather not comment on "4.4cc",,

engine is pretty happy with PSO green xl plus

among land cruisers i also like the model between 2002-2007 more attractive...

i know there is no such thing as civic reborn. indus corolla and grand cruiser.... but this is reffered to as grand in local dealer language...
